Here is a screenshot comparison that compares a couple of screenshots from the final build of the PlayStation 4 version of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare to the screenshots taken from PC version of the game. Each pair of the screenshots show that the game looks more sharp, detailed and overall graphically enhanced on PC compared to its PlayStation 4 counterpart.

Update:

While PS4 version of the game was running at 1080p, the screenshots taken are 720p in quality, so to equalize the comparison and match the resolution, the screenshots from PC version were also captured at 720p without any quality loss.

Lol, this comparison is wrong made, will not approve myself, the pictures on the in game shot are not the same quality, the PS4 size is way samller, they should made both the same size to be fair, heck they even use the same format PS4 shot is a compressed JPG and the PC is PNG file, Big fail. If your pc ha ve the power for it it will look better no doubt, but at least in a fair comparison to see the level of detail no need to artificial enhance the details of one over the other to make it look even better

The all screenshots are in JPG format actually. And to maintain quality of the comparison, the game was not maxed out on PC so the screenshots taken from it match the quality of the screenshot for PS4 version of the game.

Do pc gamers care only about graphics? You keep mentioning BC all the time too, aren't old games graphically worse than newer games? I think it's Fair to say that most gamers regardless of platform put gameplay over graphics. Just look how many still play WoW and LoL

Its completely ridiculous that they'd do a graphics comparison between PC and PS4 if they're going to impose parity on the PC even though it can do so much more.

My guess as to why they don't show PC maxed out is because they have very lucrative advertising deals with Sony and Microsoft that they wouldn't want to somehow lose if they were to make them look bad.

The ps4 is equivalent to a low end graphics card. Its not going to look as good as a PC with more powerful components. This will always be the case. The PC version wasn't even maxed out in this comparison.

Time goes on tech gets old in the real world. When ps4 launched 7870 was a mid range card. Today it is low end.

If the time clock of tech around the world worked like consoles do then iphone 1 would still be a high end smart phone. Sorry the world moves on, just because consoles are stuck with the same tech for a decade same law doesnt apply to the rest of the world.

Low-end cards are stuff like the R5 cards and GT 640 stuff. HD 7870 is still mid-range. Yes, tech constantly evolves but we still haven't had a huge shift in GPU power yet since GCN and Kepler launched in 2012.

And no, my statement had nothing to do with consoles. I know it's cool to sit on your master-race perch and try to pretend you're relevant or more important than anyone else who doesn't share your deluded beliefs but reality doesn't work that way.

The PS4 has a gpu similar in performance to a 7870M, not a desktop 7870...

I'm not in anyway giving legitimacy to these types of comparisons or arguing about how 'incredible' PC's are...they continue to have just as many comprimises as any specific platform...consoles are a bit weaker but also get developer preference, and generally impose better QA on the publisher...so the products, in general, work better at release (but not always, sadly)...

however...NarooN...context is key...there are very few people that will take you seriously when you say a 7870, be it desktop or its weaker mobile spin off, as 'mid-range' by today's standards...yes, when the PS4 released, that may have been a mid-range card for a laptop...but when you can buy Nvidia 780's and R9 290'x...literally more power than a Xbox One and Ps4...combined...gpu wise...for less than either console cost new...they are nothing but low end, period...

there is no 'low end' PC segment as far as gaming goes...because the industry made it that way...nothing weaker than a console has any place in a PC intended for gaming...because developers literally cut corners and save money by letting a PC's extra resources make up for further optimization...overall its simply that you can't play modern games on a PC with anything less than whats in the latest consoles...that fundamentally makes consoles the default low-end as far as hardware goes...and that is nothing new...consoles become the PC segments baseline in less than a year, its been that way since the PS1...this is just the first time in a while that the consoles are so directly comparable to PC parts architecturally...

and gpu power is WAY ahead of cpu improvement...thats the hold up in real time rendering...and the consoles definitely didn't help in that regard...AMD can't compete, and intel has just focused on efficiency because of it...both AMD and Nvidia have publicly stated numerous times that GCN and Kepler architectures are scalable to the point that no mass production cpu's can drive them (did you read that recent interview with AMD?...how they frustratingly admitted that their bulldozer cpu map can't push their very own high end gpu's, and that excavator won't fix that)...which won't change any time soon...so, they as well, are focusing on efficiency and heat reduction...

It is universally accepted that the PC version will always be on top when it comes to multplats. If they included that pc can run pass 60 frames and run at 4k resolution then it's absolutely no contest.

Why do they do these comparisons? I understand comparing console screens of the same game. That makes sense. Comparing consoles to PC's though is like comparing a Toyota Corolla to a BMW M3. Sure the M3 costs 3x as much, but it also has tons more power and will always win. For $400, this gen of consoles do a great job, but PC's will always be ahead in terms of visuals and power. Pointless.

I agree. But haven't you read the update above? It clearly mentions that while the game was running at 1080p on PC, the screenshots were captured at 720p (avoiding quality lose). To match them with the resolution at which the screenshots from PS4 were captured.

Lets just face facts the pc is not only in a total diffent league from consoles but more usefull for other tasks ect. Thats why they cost alot more. But what gets me is people saying its not all about graphics bla bla. But in the end you console gamers would sell your ps4 or xbox in a heart beat if a new console came out that could match a proper gaming pc
